michael, toure, ari, anthea. we talked about sort of the film and whether or not the film had a morality problem. it also has an inward problem, inward issue, you could say. people are going to go in this film and hear the "n" word a lot even for a quentin tarantino film. >> 110 times. >> knowing tarantino's work, he does use that word a lot. toure, do you think it's defensible this time for him to have that word in there so much? >> absolutely. i want to undercut the discussion but this is the most simplistic and base discussion we could have about this movie. we're in 1853, 1854 -- >> it was a prevalent term used against black people at the time. >> to not use it in this movie would be sort of ahistorical. it would be strange. it doesn't feel out of place as it does in some of the other movies where he uses it to say this thug is amoral or has lack of character or this black person has this sort of super cool thing or the thing he talked about yesterday with jimmy in "pulp fiction" as a separate usage. but ther

you may say michael, what's that got to do with the fiscal cliff? i think there is an association that many people have in their mind between the nra and the republican party. obviously, the nra more supportive of gop candidates, by and large, than democratic candidates. and the statement he made today about arming someone in every school i think is out of the mainstream. aren't these all related problems that people are perceiving the republicans as being out of sync, way too conservative? >> i think that what president obama has tried to do from the start of these negotiations is to try to divide and conquer the republican party and destroy the republican party. and the way the republican party would be destroyed is if republicans abandon their basic principle. i don't want the talk about gun control, because i don't know a lot about that. but i will talk about this. if the republicans abandon their principles of limited government and less taxes, no. republicans can't vote for a tax increase because republicans don't believe in raising taxes. we

right now that post is being held by michael morrell. it wasn't a surprise he picked john kerry. we were surprised he announced that pick alone and without unveiling his entire defense team all at once. >> i would love to think of a million more questions to ask you because of the gorgeous backdrop but instead i will let you go to it. >> thanks, alex. mice to see you, too. >>> new today one congressman says prospects are gloomy for getting a deal done to avoid the fiscal cliff. we are just ten days away. >> i don't think they are very high. i think more likely scenario is that the rates will go up automatically on january 1. >> before leaving d.c. for hawaii, president obama said he met individually with the leaders of the house and senate. asking them to work towards a package that prevents a tax hike on the middle class. >> this is something within our capacity to solve. it doesn't take that much work. just have to do the right thing. call me a hopeless optimist. but i actually still think we can get it done. >> new today, house speaker john boehner delivering the weekly republ

the cia, we mentioned this briefly, but the acting director of the cia, michael morelle is also complaining saying it quote, he departs from reality. should the government be working at all, in your opinion, with hollywood studios and helping them tell stories? this goes all the way back to top gun and maybe before that. is it a practice that should end in your opinion? >> no, i don't think it should necessarily end. i mean, again, you know, this film was originally set to come out before the election and we had documentation showing they were eager to work with them and make well, look very good, but i don't think it should end. you can work with the government without exposing national secrets and this highly classified after mission, the senators with all due respect would have been a lot better served dealing with it back then when they were getting unprecedented access and better served now to get to the bottom of benghazi and find out unanswered questions there and that's where their energy should probably be directed at now. >> dave: got to degree with you. scott taylor, great to hav
